PCMark 10 will put your PC through the ringer on a bunch of parameters that closely resemble everyday use. A task which HEDT CPUs are known to handle, as they’re often used in workstation builds. Handbrake is a piece of software used for reencoding video material, thereby showing the CPUs capabilities for video rendition. Had it not been a clear winner, we would’ve started to wonder. This makes perfect sense as the 9900K boosts all the way to 5 GHz in single core mode. In the single core test, the Threadrippers are put in their place – for the first and possibly last time – by the Intel i9-9900K. The Threadripper, especially 2950X, reigns supremely once again, due to its core/thread superiority. The chart is not sorted, someone, we won’t mention who, forgot to do so – but hopefully the results are clear despite this. Especially 2950X comes out on top with its 32 threads, looking quite interesting while benchmarking. And once again we see the Threadrippers hitting some homeruns. In Cinebench R15, the CPUs are tested for their ability to render a high-resolution image. The memory controller is doing a stellar job, and Threadripper once again takes the top spot. With our memory, set at 3200MHz, the results come in sweet and juicy. Threadripper 2920X and 2950X have the same memory controller, and thus have the same results of DDR4 performance. The result is shown in megapixels/second, and once again Threadripper 2 takes a clear lead. The Photoworxx test shows us how many graphical processes a CPU is capable of handling. The Intel CPUs were equally routed by the new Threadripper 2920X, and even further by the 2950X. Once again, we see a significant performance boost over the previous Threadripper 1920X. The new iteration really allows all the cores to “stretch their legs” and push out some serious data. 7-Zip Benchmarkįirst, we tested the compression performance:ĪMD has made sure to provide some bang-for-the-buck with the new 2920X and 2950X processors, as can be clearly seen in the screenshots above from 7-Zip. Seeing as the Enermax Liqtech 240 TR2 cooler comes rated for max TDP of 500W, our Threadripper 2920X and 2950X can boost to their full potential of 4.3 and 4.4GHz. We benchmarked the two Treadrippers on the following software: With that out of the way we’re ready to assemble the test unit and start benchmarking the 2920X, before making our way to the 2950X.ĭuring the test, we sadly had no RTX cards available, so we decided to use our own trusted MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X 11G, as the Ryzen Threadripper platform doesn’t come with an iGPU. For mounting, the included AMD tool should be used, which is handily set with a torque measurement to prevent you from overtightening the bracket on the motherboard. We kick off by mounting the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2920X onto the ASUS ROG Zenith Extreme X399 motherboard. We’ve got our fingers crossed that we’ll be selected for the Threadripper 2970X and 2990X as well. The test kitīelow you can see the test kit AMD sent us for testing out the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2920X and 2950X. Seeing as AMD hasn’t released a new chipset along with the Threadripper 2, we won’t be going into details about this aspect. The original Threadrippers were regarded nothing short of a brilliant move from AMD, and we’re very excited to see if they’ll be able to follow the same recipe with Threadripper 2. Because of their similarities, we’ve decided to make this as a single review.Ī Threadripper CPU is marketed as a HEDT processor (High End Desktop), where the competition is the truly big boys from Intel. Here at Tweak we’ve been sent a test kit including the AMD Ryzen Threadripper (2) 2920X and 2950X. AMD has released a new Ryzen lineup, a new Threadripper, aptly named Threadripper 2.
